"Had to think about what annoyed me and it is the fact that the back up alarm has to be turned off each time you crank and go to reverse with a trailer hooked up."
I second that and then some. On my F150 if I shut down for even a second and re-start with a trailer attached I have to shut off about three or four messages and then spend a few seconds getting the display back to where it was and restoring seat heating/cooling as desired. I really wish that it had a least a short window of time where it would just pick up right where I left it.
A couple more: Since you tell the truck what trailer is attached it should be able to remember and use the electric brake settings for each trailer. Getting into it with bad knees is a challenge even with 5 extra cost steps.
For likes; I really like the automatic wipers and lights with auto dimming, even more than I thought I would. Adaptive cruise control can be really good, especially if you are following someone for a while. Lane keeping, not so much. Overall, it really is a sweet ride.
